Clare County Council launched its Rural Development Strategy 2026 (PDF, 30.5MB) in 2016. This Strategy outlined a pathway to revitalised and reinvigorated rural communities across the county. As the Strategy reached its mid-point in 2021 it was important that a review of same took place. This Draft Renewed Strategy is based on the review of implementation of the original Rural Development Strategy adopted for Clare in 2016. The review recommended a renewal of the objectives and targets of the 2016 strategy to allow the Clare Rural development Forum to lead out delivery of additional actions to 2026, underpinning the successful implementation of the original strategy.
This Draft Renewed Strategy has already been the subject of extensive consultation with key agencies, public participation bodies and the elected members of Clare County Council. The Clare Rural Development Forum through this consultation process has identified ten renewed or new strategic actions containing a total of 41 sub-actions actions. These strategic actions are:
Building Social Enterprises
Growing our Multi-Service Centres and digital/broadband
Co-operating Communities under the umbrella of the Municipal District Offices
Managing the Environment and transitioning to carbon neutrality
Age Friendly
Sustaining our rural way of life through our dynamic agriculture and marine communities
Transport and Water
Education, Child, and Youth Services
Building tourism
Meeting the needs of incoming communities
We are now offering an opportunity for all to review the Draft Renewed Strategy 2026 (PDF, 234KB) and contribute submissions and comments via our survey below, prior to finalisation and adoption of this Strategy. You will be able to access the survey and questionnaire until Friday 16th September 2022.
